In the wake of their new album La fin de l’économie (‘The end of Economy’), Aquaserge are releasing an EP featuring a cover of a song by the great Robert Wyatt, one of the band’s major inspirations.

Aquaserge’s version of N.I.O. (New Information Order), off Wyatt’s Dondestan album, comes with French lyrics written by the band. Also included is a new song, Escalade (‘climbing’, or ‘escalation’).

The EP sees the band further display their love for allegoric music, non-visual films, ostinatos, format-free songs, and keep spinning the thread of their socio-poetical ideas.
